1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

introductionEarly antibody-mediated rejection has been reported to increase chronic antibody-mediated rejection and decrease graft survival in kidney transplantation. However, the impact of early antibody-mediated rejection in ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation remains unclear.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed living-donor kidney transplantation patients from two Korean centers. Patients were categorized based on ABO compatibility and early antibody-mediated rejection within 1 year. The primary outcome was chronic antibody-mediated rejection. The secondary outcomes were production of de novo donor-specific antibody and composite kidney outcome, defined as graft loss or a decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate to below 30 mL/min/1.73 m

resultsA total of 1639 patients were analyzed, including 1292 patients who underwent ABO-compatible kidney transplantation and 347 patients who underwent ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation. ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation had a lower risk of de novo donor-specific antibody production (hazard ratio [HR] 0.68, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.48-0.95) and chronic antibody-mediated rejection (HR 0.33, 95% CI 0.12-0.92) with a comparable risk of the composite kidney outcome (HR 1.06, 95% CI 0.71-1.59) compared to ABO-compatible kidney transplantation. When outcomes of ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation were analyzed according to early antibody-mediated rejection, ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation without antibody-mediated rejection had a lower risk of de novo donor-specific antibody production (HR 0.60, 95% CI 0.41-0.88) and chronic antibody-mediated rejection (HR 0.28, 95% CI 0.09-0.91) than ABO-compatible kidney transplantation without antibody-mediated rejection. However, ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation with antibody-mediated rejection showed a higher risk of de novo donor-specific antibody production and similar risk of chronic antibody-mediated rejection compared to ABO-compatible kidney transplantation without antibody-mediated rejection.

conclusionsABO-incompatible kidney transplantation showed a lower risk of de novo donor-specific antibody production and chronic antibody-mediated rejection compared to ABO-compatible kidney transplantation; however, early antibody-mediated rejection abrogated these beneficial effects of ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation.
